Chargers' Lynn on 26-24 loss: 'We've taken steps to try to fix this'

The Los Angeles Chargers dropped their fourth consecutive game of the season in a 26-24 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at the StubHub Center.

However, coach Anthony Lynn is still holding out hope that the team is working towards the positive direction.

Every game this season for the Bolts it has seemed like one thing or another has wound up burning the team late in the game. This time around it was the Chargers inability to stop the Eagles rushing attack. Nevertheless, Lynn believes that the Chargers are moving in the right direction.

“We have taken steps to try to fix this. We work on the run every single day, all day,” Lynn said during media availability after Sunday’s game. “Similar to what I said, we have to tackle when we are in the position to make a play. Today, I thought there were a lot of missed tackles.”

The Chargers defense certainly had a lot of missed tackles late in the fourth quarter when the Eagles started handing the ball off to running back LeGarrette Blount.

Ultimately, that ended up being the Bolts’ undoing on Sunday because Blount and the Eagles were able to burn the last six minutes off the clock following tight end Hunter Henry’s spectacular touchdown catch that cut the margin down to two.

Even though Lynn has indicated that the team is taking steps to try and right this ship, they’re going to have to make bigger leaps this week against the New York Giants.
